DONE!

I am officially done with med school classes. Now for 3+ months of traveling! I already have two trips booked.

First up: Freak out time has begun. Match Day is so close and we need something to keep us sane. We thought a beach as far away as we could get would be our best bet. So, the other night (about 1 am) we booked a spontaneous trip to Rosemary Beach, Florida and we're leaving tomorrow! I'm sure most of you have never heard of this place but it is amazing. I strongly suggest you check it out. I went with my family after I took Step 1 about two years ago. It is a quaint little town with white sandy beaches -- kinda like Seaside (which isn't too far away). The houses all look somewhat alike but they are more modern and so pretty.

One reason I like this place is because they don't allow any mainstream restaurants or shops (they even closed their Starbucks a few years ago). Everyone rents bikes and rides around the cute town. My family rented a little apartment above the shops on the main street but we are staying at a studio apartment a few minutes walking distance from the town.

Rosemary Beach is 10-11 hours of driving (eek!). Since we are driving from Houston, we are going to stop in New Orleans on the way back. This will be a loooong road trip for the two of us... be sure to check back next week with some updates.

Next: We planned a week long trip to San Francisco! We're planning on going to the Redwood Forest, Napa and seeing Alcatraz. Any recommendations would be great!
